I've had a retina problem in one eye for two years and now I'm almost blind in that eye I can only see shadows. I've seen several retina specialists but they all say there's no treatment available. Is retina transplant surgery an option for my condition? Are there any other treatments I could try?

While a retina transplant isn't currently a standard treatment for vision loss, there are other potential options and avenues to explore. It's important to understand that treatment for retinal diseases depends on the specific cause and severity of the condition

Which procedure is better between LASIK and PRK when it comes to quality of vision after surgery and post-operative pain? I've heard there can be other issues after surgery too. Also, my corneal thickness is 495 um with a power of 3.50 in both eyes, and all my topography tests came back normal. Would LASIK or PRK be the better option for me to get rid of my glasses?

With normal topography and 495 Œºm corneal thickness, PRK is safer than LASIK and has less risk of complications; PRK has slightly more pain initially but similar long-term vision quality.
